Thescreescore – Ahead of Happy Gilmore 2‘s release, the iconic hockey-stick putter, wielded by Adam Sandler’s legendary character, is finally available for purchase—and it’ll cost you a cool $499.99. Remember Happy’s on-course antics and his memorable chase scene with Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald)? Sandler and McDonald reprise their roles in the sequel, with Happy sporting an updated version of this unique club. Originally a gift from the unforgettable Chubbs Peterson (the late Carl Weathers), this piece of cinematic history is now a collector’s item.
According to thescreescore.com, Odyssey is releasing a limited-edition replica of the 44-inch putter, boasting a 57° lie angle and a 21° grip. The package also includes a custom yellow-and-black tube sock emblazoned with Happy’s name and the iconic phrase "Just tap it." This perfectly complements the already available limited-edition Happy Gilmore 2 golf balls. The release date? Friday, July 25th—coinciding with the sequel’s Netflix debut.
A Hole-in-One for Fans?

This isn’t just a prop; it’s a chance for fans to live out their Happy Gilmore fantasies. While a Callaway spokesperson clarified that the putter doesn’t conform to official golf rules due to its flat design, that’s unlikely to deter dedicated buyers. Imagine the reactions on the green!
However, the $499.99 price tag and limited availability make this a luxury item. For those with the means and the desire, owning a piece of this golfing legend’s legacy is undoubtedly appealing. The exclusivity will only enhance its value once it sells out.
A Marketing Masterstroke?
While I personally wouldn’t shell out $500 for a novelty putter (my golf game is, shall we say, challenged), the marketing strategy is undeniably brilliant. Happy Gilmore remains a beloved cult classic, and this perfectly timed release leverages that nostalgia to generate considerable buzz around the sequel. It’s a smart move that capitalizes on the film’s enduring popularity. The limited edition aspect only adds to its desirability.
